“PROJECT CHILDREN'S WARD”

The Children's Ward is now open!
On 4th September 2002 the hospital management in Phalombe organised the official opening ceremony. Nine members of Pro Phalombe Club were able to witness the cutting of the opening ribbon. Representing everyone who supported the project, we could recieve words of praise and thanks. We from the board would like to extend our gratitude to all members, donors and friends, who have contributed to the success of the project.

What does the new Children's Ward bring?
The new ward relieves all present problems in nursing care in Phalombe.
– It allows an efficient patient care with a minimal amount of staff
– New adequate sanitary installations
– More space for the intensive care
– Good infrastructure for tuition, examination and preparation of food
– Separation of sick children from grown-up patients
– Simplification of the planned medium-term reconstruction of the general wards
– Separate isolation rooms for children with infectious diseases
– Taking into account the local custom, whereby mothers also stay in the pediatric ward
